1 110 gr. TAP URBAN #80896 Polymer Tipped Spitzer Flat Base Bullet B.C. =.290 This cartridge provides the police marksman a unique bullet that demonstrates rapid expansion, fragmentation and low retained weight. The 110 gr. TAP Urban bullet offers the least penetration in ballistic gelatin and lower felt recoil as compared to heavier TAP loads. The 110 gr. bullet demonstrates similar penetration to the 223 Rem 75 gr. BTHP bullet, but with substantially more temporary and permanent cavity and fragmentation, proving itself an excellent choice for high collateral risk environments. NOTE: A superb choice for the M14 and its variants. 155 gr. A-MAX TAP PRECISION #80925 Polymer Tipped Spitzer Boat Tail Bullet B.C. =.435 The 155 gr. A-MAX TAP Precision cartridge offers match accuracy with a high ballistic coefficient to provide superior long range performance and accuracy. This bullet performs very similarly to the 168 gr. A-MAX bullet, providing controlled and impressive soft tissue expansion without over penetration. The 155 gr. A-MAX penetrates glass with minimal deflection and serves as a great alternative to the 168 gr. A-MAX for Law Enforcement duty applications. 165 gr. GMX TAP HEAVY BARRIER #80985 Polymer Tipped Copper Alloy Bullet B.C. =.447 TAP Heavy Barrier turns cover into concealment. The 165 gr. GMX TAP Heavy Barrier is constructed of a monolithic copper alloy. It shoots cleaner than pure copper, fouls less and delivers devastating terminal performance. The GMX bullet penetrates heavy barriers such as 1" laminated glass with exceptional weight retention while still delivering superior terminal performance. NOTE: Maximum penetration - Not for use where over-penetration is a concern. 165 gr. INTERBOND TAP BARRIER #80995 Polymer Tipped Bonded Bullet B.C. =.447 TAP Barrier turns cover into concealment. Unique tactical situations demand ammunition with unique qualities and Hornady 308 WIN TAP Barrier ammunition is one of the most specialized cartridges ever developed. The 165 gr. 308 Win TAP Barrier round penetrates auto glass, sheet metal and any other conventional barriers while still delivering superior terminal performance on the opposite side. It features a tough bonded core and jacket that allows it to reliably penetrate barriers while delivering devastating stopping power with virtually no fragmentation. 168 gr. A-MAX TAP PRECISION #80965 Polymer Tipped Spitzer Boat Tail Bullet B.C. =.475 The 168 gr. A-MAX bullet is a traditional match grade bullet with the performance advantages of a polymer tip. This bullet demonstrates an increase in penetration and retained weight over the 155 gr. A-MAX bullet. Standard barrier performance is exemplary and this load demonstrates controlled and impressive soft tissue expansion without over penetration. The Hornady 168 gr. A-MAX TAP Precision offers industry leading all-around performance for law enforcement precision marksmen providing the ability to stop a threat. 168 gr. ELD MATCH TAP PRECISION #80725 Polymer Tipped Spitzer Boat Tail Bullet B.C. =.523 Hornady 308 WIN 168 gr. ELD MATCH TAP PRECISION ammunition was designed as an improvement on the 168 gr. A-MAX TAP PRECISION load by incorporating the new ELD Match bullet. The 168 gr. ELD Match bullet with Heat Shield tip delivers the excellent terminal performance TAP Precision is known for, but features a resilient, heat resistant polymer tip that improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in higher impact velocities, less drop, less wind drift, and more energy on target. 168 gr. ELD MATCH TAP AR #80715 Polymer Tipped Spitzer Boat Tail Bullet B.C. = Winchester/ 7.62 mm NATO Hornady Product Summary Hornady 308 Win TAP ammunition is specifically developed for the police marksman who requires the increased bullet weight and barrier penetration of the 308 Win cartridge. Hornady Match Grade TAP 308 Win loads offer reliable functioning and consistent performance that delivers when it counts. With a low muzzle signature and superior terminal performance, Hornady 308 Win TAP loads provide performance in any situation from eliminating the risk of over penetration to standard and heavy barricade engagements. The polymer tips have high ballistic coefficients, making them an excellent choice for SWAT precision marksmen. This line of ammunition is intended for Law Enforcement sales ONLY. B.C. = Ballistic Coefficient Hornady 308 WIN TAP AR ammunition is the first TAP offering loaded with the new ELD Match bullet. The 168 gr. ELD Match bullet with Heat Shield tip delivers the excellent terminal performance TAP Precision is known for, but features a resilient, heat resistant polymer tip that improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in higher impact velocities, less drop, less wind drift, and more energy on target. Designed specifically for the 308 AR-10 platform and its variants, the resilient tip of the ELD-X bullet aids in reliable feed and function, and the propellant is specifically tailored to efficiently operate in the AR-10.

35 168 gr. A-MAX vs. 168 gr. BTHP The boat tail hollow point design was originally intended as a match bullet. In terminal media, this bullet style functions based on the bullet upsetting and tumbling to create wound cavitation. A bullet that functions based on tumbling becomes very inconsistent from shot to shot, barrier to barrier, and between different twist rates. One bullet may enter target media and begin to tumble at 4 inches, where the next shot may penetrate 8 inches before upsetting. Since nothing is consistently initiating the expansion or tumbling of the bullet, the consistency of the barrier or target media dictates when and how the bullet will upset. Using a faster twist rate such as a 1 in 10" instead of a 1 in 12" in a.308 Win, will cause the bullet to penetrate more before tumbling. 168 BTHP BARE STEEL WALLBOARD PLYWOOD GLASS 22" 24" 19.25" 16" 11.75" 168 A-MAX BARE STEEL WALLBOARD PLYWOOD GLASS 14.25" 14.5" 15.75" 17.0" 13.25" The A-MAX bullet incorporates a polymer tip material that maintains match accuracy and initiates expansion across a broad range of target materials and media. When the polymer tip of the A-MAX bullet contacts the barrier or target media it is driven into the hollow point of the bullet nose forcing the bullet core and jacket to open outward. This mushrooming expansion is consistent due to the initiation by the polymer tip not found in the BTHP design. The consistency of the tip initiated expansion results in much more reliable penetration results across different barriers and target media. TAP APPLICATION GUIDE 144

36 ASA Sniper Ammunition Recommendation The choice of ammunition for the police sniper is every bit as critical to mission success as is the selection of the proper rifle and optics. One must take into consideration what the sniper needs to accomplish when he pulls the trigger on an operation, and then choose the proper bullet for that application. The ideal sniper round will be consistently accurate (when fired from an accurate rifle), give reliable terminal performance, and not over penetrate the human target. An added benefit would be the ability to penetrate all likely barriers. However, any round designed to defeat heavy intermediate barriers is probably going to consistently over penetrate tissue. With these parameters in mind, the American Sniper Association recommends and endorses the Hornady TAP AMAX round, in either 155 or 168 grain bullet weights, as the ideal primary round for sniper deployments. This bullet has a proven record of sub- MOA accuracy, as well as a well-documented history of optimal terminal performance in actual tactical operations. The final choice of bullet weight should be determined after testing both rounds in your individual barrels to see which one provides the best accuracy. Both rounds have been shown to work well against the most common barriers encountered by snipers on operations, such as windshields and residential windows. If the sniper expects to deal with a heavier barrier, the best solution is a round designed specifically for that purpose. This is usually achieved with some sort of bonded bullet.

37 Excerpt taken from the 2013 Police Sniper Utilization Report, compiled and published by the American Sniper Association: New for the 2013 Edition During this reporting period, we found 15 incidents in which the Sierra BTHP Match King bullet was used. Twelve of those incidents resulted in through and through wounds. Most troubling about some of the torso wounds was the fact that the target survived, remained a deadly threat, and had to be shot again by SWAT personnel. In one of the three incidents in which the round stayed in the target, the sniper involved noted in his after action report concern because the bullet broke up passing through a glass barrier. A portion of the round struck the target and was lethal, but other pieces missed. Conversely, during the same period, we added eight shootings to the database utilizing ballistic-tipped ammunition (primarily Hornady AMAX ammunition). In all eight instances, the round stayed in the target. And all but one of the eight shootings was fatal. Conclusion The BTHP has been used by police snipers successfully many times. There is little to dispute its potential lethality when used against human targets. However, it has displayed three problems which cannot be ignored. 1. It will over penetrate human targets at an unacceptable rate. This puts hostages, innocent bystanders and teammates at risk. 2. Because of its inconsistent ballistic performance in tissue, some torso shots have proven ineffective. As a result, a number of incidents required additional shots to be fired to successfully neutralize the subject. 3. And last, but not least, it does not perform well when passing through glass barriers, often shedding its jacket. This results in multiple projectiles going downrange, possibly endangering hostages in close proximity. Because of these documented issues, our recommendation for ammunition selection remains the same.
